About our Mexican catering in Blacklands
Need taco catering in Blacklands? Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for big birthday celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties.
For a place the size of Blacklands, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Events we cater in Blacklands
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
These are some of the occasions we serve around Blacklands:
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Festivals, fairs and markets
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Company summer parties
When the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Questions to ask before booking
- The venue requirements
- How long the service runs
- The deposit and payment dates
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. In Blacklands, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Planning help
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
Planning a food truck in Blacklands
Blacklands is about 1 mile east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Blacklands, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We serve in 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Blacklands to Royal Tunbridge Wells (about 23 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that Ore station is about 0.6 miles away. With the A2101 nearby, getting the truck or trailer to Blacklands is straightforward. Blacklands is within about a mile of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN34, TN37 and TN35, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Laton Road, Manor Road and Park Avenue or the roads around them. Blacklands is on the A2101, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Blacklands, we also cover St Helen's (1 mile north), Hastings (1 mile west), Belmont (1 mile south-east), America Ground (1 mile south) and Hastings Old Town (1 mile south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (14 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles west), Hailsham (14 miles west), Polegate (15 miles west), Old Town (15 miles south-west) and Upper Horsebridge (14 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find The True Crime Museum (0.9 miles south) and Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (0.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
- Nearby schools include William Parker Sports College (0.7 miles north-west) and University School (0.8 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include Crowleys Bar (0.7 miles south)
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
